More props are going to be added into the PayrollHero platform in the coming days. A prop, is a virtual item that shows up on the screen when you are clocking in. They are random, fun and will keep you smiling at the start and end of your day.

Last night was the 3rd Restaurant Technology Meetup in the Philippines and we were honoured to have Jonathan Joson join us to speak to the group.
Jonathan is a digital marketing specialist and talked about how to effectively use Search and Facebook Advertising to promote restaurants in the Philippines. He also touched on social media and social media review apps that benefits restaurants!!
Overall Jonathan’s presentation was excellent. The group feedback was very positive and everyone walked away with some new nuggets of knowledge to apply to their restaurant businesses.

International Speaker Scott Friedman spoke at the Centre for Innovation, Change and Productivity today in Makati, Philippines at the InterContinental Hotel on the topic of “Employee Innovation in Turbulent Times”. Scott was kind enough to include PayrollHero in part of his keynote speech as to how companies can use our time, attendance, scheduling and payroll platform to built company culture and encourage happiness.
Scott focused on PayrollHero’s props within the TeamClock where our platform will add “props” to the screen so that when employees clock in and out, they might see a fun prop. He talked about how this has taken traditional clocking in and out from something that employees dreaded doing to something that they look forward to.

Within PayrollHero’s platform there is the resolve attendance functionality. PayrollHero is a complete time, attendance, scheduling, analytics and payroll platform that is a seamless tool to help businesses manage their workforce. Within the resolve attendance portion of the platform, managers can make decisions on scheduling infractions so that PayrollHero knows how to calculate employee hours. Resolving employees that clocked in late, early, missed clock in, etc. is all handled through the resolve attendance screen. Here is what it used to look like:
Within the resolve attendance page there is a function called “roll call checker”. We have made a big change to how the roll call functionality works. In the past, the roll call checker would run every 60 minutes to check which employees were late, early, missing clock ins, etc and display them in the resolve attendance page. (see above)
If you have questions about how any of this new functionality works, please feel free to contact our Client Happiness Team.
The next PayrollHero Bootcamp is on November 14th 2013 in Fort Bonifacio, Philippines. This free event is a great way to learn all there is to know about the PayrollHero platform. Registration is very limited so be sure to register here.
Another new team member has joined PayrollHero. Meet Brandon, he hails from the US and has joined our Whistler office. Welcome Brandon!
PayrollHero continues to grow. We have added 2 new team members to our Whistler team, Mylene from France and Sean from Australia. Here is a quick introduction about each of them:
Sean:
I’m Sean. I’m a 23 year old bloke from Australia. I am what some call a dabbler but I prefer Jack of all Trades. I’m the school chess captain, come obsessed surfer, fitness freak, and amateur snowboarder.
I grew up in a family of bankers but have an IT background; I have been pulling everything apart (Including PCs, Engines, and Houses) since before I can remember. I care heaps about my health, I am at the gym every other day and (whenever I can be bothered training) I run marathons.
I studied Accountancy at University of Wollongong where I build upon the knowledge passed down through my family and had the opportunity to practice these skills with my mothers bookkeeping business.
I now work in Customer Support for PayrollHero. I’m loving the opportunity to offer my financial and technical skills to an amazing startup and to the early adopter customers that they service.
Working with awesome people in an awesome startup in an awesome town is an unbelievable dream come true.
I can’t wait to help.
Mylene:
I’m Mylene, I’m 24 years old. I come from the north west of France. I arrived in Canada in February 2013 in Montreal and I did a road trip through Canada and I arrived in Whistler in October.
I like to travel, dance, cook, windsurf… I’m more at ease on the sea than on the snow so I must improve my snowboarding. I am the same level in snowboarding as I am in English… 🙂
I’m a graphic designer and I work as the UI/UX designer for PayrollHero. I’m really glad I could join the team. You can see my previous work: 1000n.fr
